Swift Go

Make as many journeys as you like in a day, or over an entire week on bus or tram. We'll cap the cost, so once you hit your cap you carry on travelling for free!

Swift Go is here to cut out the confusion. It takes away the need to understand which ticket to buy for your journey. A smart product designed for everyone including those who don't travel the traditional, Monday - Friday commute.

Once you've set up an account, choose how you want to pay, and use your Swift card each time you travel on the bus or tram. At the end of each day, we'll calculate the cost and cap the price based on the number of journeys you've made.

You can only use Swift Go on the tram and most buses. You cannot use it on the train.

Swift Go is useful if you travel with lots of different operators. If you only travel with one operator, it might be easier for you to use contactless payment cards instead.

When travelling on the network, look out for the Swift Go stickers on your bus to see whether you can use your Swift Go.

Auto-Pay: Save the hassle of topping up and store your debit or credit card to your Swift account. We'll bill your card each Sunday at 8 am for any journeys that you have made in the previous week.
